I've refrained from posting update after update today, because of how quickly the rumors and information can change (read: I was napping all day). But as of 8:42pm Central Time, things are just as confusing at the end of the day as they were in the morning.

Some players have said the Angels have made it clear to Sabathia that they'll guarantee him six years, but both sides say it is not true. Sabathia has not turned down the Yankees, either. He has offers from the Brewers, Angels and Red Sox, and the Giants have made it clear they will be in the bidding in certain circumstances.

I forget the source, but I remember hearing that it was unlikely Sabathia would sign anywhere before the end of the weekend. I still think he ends up a Dodger, I have all long, even though they technically aren't in the bidding, yet. My second guess would be the Giants. The Brewers would be third. The longer that Sabathia goes without signing, the better the chance I think the Brewers have.

Hart for Putz would be a good trade. Hart looked so terrible at the end of last season, he's a big reason we didn't advance. But so is the rest of our offense who didn't want to show up in the postseason.
